This is what amazes me about whipmakers. If you just happen to have a little free time and you have a whip "hankering", you can just put something together as awesome as this for yourself. Hats off :TOH:

Hey Bravo,
Kinda makes you jealous, doesn't it! (I know it does to me :lol: )



Graeme,
Once again, great work as usual. :clap:

I hope you are able to finish my whip before the QM Summit so I can show it off to everyone!
(But, like I said, Don't go pushing yourself too hard. Give that knee some time to rest so it can heal!!)

By the way, I just checked your website and saw the pics of your new Roo-hide KotCS.
Oh, Mama! =P~

I'm just glad you are feeling better.

Now, being back and making such good whips, that's outstanding.

Great gear! I bet the MK VII are easy to come by over there. My father is from Glasgow (yep, I got an SA father too :D ) and when he saw my MK VII, he told me that construction workers used to use them to take their sandwiches to work after the War. That holster looks great too. Maybe you could diversify your catalog and begin offering holsters, bag straps, whip holders etc... I´m sure you have loads of leather odds and ends just laying about!

Cheers!

An SA father :TOH: Where can I get one of those :D Thats a good use for the bag after the war :TOH: I might add leather Indy accessories on my site in the near future, Bag strap, holster and whip holder and maybe even the gun belt. We will see. I have already thought about it but too busy catching up on all the orders before my accident. When I'm back on track be sure to see those items from me ;) Maybe.......
